Re: Performance Thread List (check here before making a new one)

If you are going to do this, you should make a 2008 Thread for each player who doesn't already have one. It would keep things more organized and be interesting to follow the reactions to a player's performance for each year

Re: Performance Thread List (check here before making a new one)

I suppose I am a lone wolf on this one, but these performance threads are getting tiring. That's all that seems to be posted in the Inside the Lines forum. They are so tiring to me thay I manytimes just skip this forum. I hope they, like the Hula Hoop are just a quickly passing fad.
Maybe like Andy Rooney, I am just an old curmudgeon.

Im 50/50 on them, at some points they are tedious, but when you look at other teams forums that don't share our style, it seems to be just a bunch of random posts with only a few replys, so there is really no baseball dialogue.

So I guess you can say I like them.

We have never had posts with few responses. They have always been active; as for random, not by my definition. Anyway, different strokes for different folks. That's what makes the world so interesting -we all have different opinions, likes and dislikes, hobbies, etc.

I completely agree with you on this. I used to read Inside the Lines first. Now it's either Out of Play or Around the Majors. If the first five or so threads in this section are performance threads I don't even bother with the forum. There are over 20 different performance threads in the first 3 pages of this forum.

I don't know if this could be done, but I would love it if all the performance threads were on their own page, or in a subforum of Inside the Lines (maybe stickied to the top of the page). It would make it easier for those of who do read them to access them in one location and those of us who are less than enthusiastic to plow through them looking for new threads and posts of the non-performance variety to not have to wade through the twenty or so threads that exist.

What a great idea!!!!

When the Political comments got too burdensome for some they were put in their seperate forum. Moderators, do you think it would be helpful to have a seperate forum for all the performance threads. I for one hate them and skip through them almost all the times. I would hate to start a Wilson Benemit Performance (???) thread

Re: Performance Thread List (check here before making a new one)

Do you folks not have this icon at each thread:

If you click that - it takes you to the last post you read in that thread. If you haven't read that thread in a few days, and it buries you with 20 pages you don't feel like reading - then just go to the last page and it brings you up to date.

I think the performance threads are better than having a thread on every Giambi mis-throw, every ball Jeter misses up the middle, everytime Farnsworth blows an inning...

Crappy threads die and fall off the page very fast...following a zillion mega threads is like a root canal...

Forgive me for not knowing what you mean. Do you mean a trade thread or something similar?

These performance threads and team threads are really getting tiresome. I mostly pass them right over and go to the History/Trivia and the Conversation forums. It is very saddening to me to see how this fantastic web site has degraded during the last six months or so.

Re: Performance Thread List (check here before making a new one)

Transactions include:
Players entering or leaving the roster by being placed on or activated from the disabled list
Players entering or leaving the roster from promotions and demotions with the minor leagues
Players entering or leaving the organization by being traded, acquired in a trade, claimed off waivers, designated for assignment, etc.
